Description:

My passion for recording audio, making videos, and taking photographs sparked in my early teens and led me to study film and aesthetics at Sonoma State University. There, I honed my perception skills using natural and flash lighting techniques to create emotionally impactful results with my camera.

My training continued at a video production center in Port Jefferson, Long Island, where I worked on the TV film crew at 510TV, co-founded Clear Light Video Productions, and sharpened my video editing abilities at the East Bay Media Center in Berkeley, CA.

With over 25 years of experience in Clear Light Video Productions, I have become proficient in creating event slideshows and capturing slow-motion moments, such as a wedding couple's "first look" and sports live action. My expertise also extends to traditional videography and photography, including special events, small business promotions, legal depositions, corporate functions, individual or group portraits, and real estate shoots.

My diverse portfolio showcases my talent in capturing weddings, engagements, baby showers, birthdays, proms, funerals, memorials, anniversaries, fashion runway events, quinceaƱeras, sweet sixteen parties, retirement celebrations, and corporate events, as well as theatrical, musical, singing, and dancing performances.

I take pride in telling a story through my audiovisual skills that captures the essence and sentiment of an event, and I find great satisfaction in exceeding my clients' expectations. My clients appreciate my creative can-do attitude, terrific sense of humor, and clear communication before, during, and after each project.

I prioritize building trust with my clients before beginning a project, ensuring that we thoroughly understand each other's needs and expectations. With a strong commitment to quality and safety, I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and have received a booster shot as of December 2021.

If you are seeking a skilled and reliable professional to bring your project to life, please do not hesitate to contact me.
